I just am really hoping somebody has a manufactures molded hose out there.
Can you post a pic of your lower rad neck and its diameter? If it's 1.75"( stock size ) and angled up same as stock, then a stock hose for an AC truck ( ACDelco 24035L ) will fit with about 1.5" cut off the rad end. This is what I'm using.

If the neck is 1.5" and straight ( 73-87 style ) then you need a 73 hose. My truck had this when I got it.

Hope that helps.
